(Monday, November 3, 2014) – “I’m thrilled to return to Toronto and support The Actors’ Fund of Canada with an evening filled with laughter”, says Scott Nevins. “The Actors Fund of Canada does amazing work supporting people in the entertainment industry going through a crisis by providing financial aid in times of need. The entertainment industry can be glamourous, but it’s also precarious employment. When an injury or illness hits unexpectedly entertainment industry professionals don’t have the same safety nets to help them recover from these hardships. I’m proud to bring attention and financial support to the great work of The Actors’ Fund of Canada while I visit the city of Toronto and perform my show at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.”
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is proud to host SCOTT NEVINS LIVE! Known as the “hilarious hottie”, Scott Nevins is an award-winning TV personality, comedian and one of the breakout stars of the Bravo US series THE PEOPLE’S COUCH and was formerly on the hit show TRUTV PRESENTS: THE WORLD’S DUMBEST. Scott delivers an evening jam packed with side splitting insider Hollywood gossip, never-before-heard outrageous tales of his favorite Stars, hilarious personal anecdotes about his family and dating life, his stint as a Judge for a famous beauty pageant, plus his infamous show stopping celebrity vocal impressions! It has been five years since Scott Nevins last performed live in Toronto, and this new show will not fail to deliver non-stop hilarity.

THE ACTORS’ FUND OF CANADA is the lifeline for Canada’s entertainment industry. Over 10,000 professional members of the industry from all over Canada and in the fields of film & TV, theatre, music and dance have been helped by the Fund, which provides emergency financial aid to assist cultural workers in recovering from an illness, injury or other circumstances causing severe economic and personal hardship. The Fund believes that the risks that Canadian artists take as they create some of the finest live and recorded productions in the world should be recognized, valued and supported by all Canadians. The Actors’ Fund is a registered charity that has paid out over $4.5 million in rent payments, grocery money, utility payments and other basic living expenses in the last 10 years. Performers, creators, technical staff and other production team members can benefit from the Fund, which receives no government funding and is wholly sustained by support from individuals and entertainment industry organizations.
